Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Engineering for Surface Treatment, Spectroscopic Analysis, and Environmental Remediation

Research Outline

Okino laboratory develops new atmospheric pressure plasma devices and studies their application to surface treatment, elemental minprecipitation, and environmental purification. First, we are developing atmospheric pressure plasma devices with various discharge methods from below zero to several thousand degrees Celsius and from less than 100 microns to 1 meter, and evaluating their basic characteristics. minThen, using plasma devices with the appropriate plasma generation method, plasma gas, plasma temperature, and shape for each application, we are conducting research on a wide range of minapplications, such as surface treatment of materials to improve adhesion strength, precipitation of elements in single cells and biological agents, purification of gases and liquids, and sterilization/virus inactivation.
